Abstract (en)

A method for redirecting telephone calls directed to a cellular telephone is provided which includes a cellular telephone, a storage cradle, such that calls to the cellular telephone are forwarded when the cellular telephone is placed in the cradle. The method may also cease the forwarding of calls directed to the cellular telephone upon removal of the cellular telephone from the cradle. The initiation or termination of call forwarding may occur after some delay following the cellular telephone's placement in or removal from the cradle. The cradle may provide an option to activate or deactivate the call forwarding feature. Activation and deactivation of the feature may also be controlled by a programmable timer. The cradle may optionally recharge the cellular telephone's battery pack while the cellular telephone is in the cradle. <IMAGE>
